Bukkit

The plugin "HTTPConsole" can return the output from a command without a modified CraftBukkit. (though the plugin needs an update and gives a "Broken pipe" error almost every time).

I don't know how they have implemented it, but there must be a way? Do you think it would be possible to add?

What does the proLoginEnabled in WSEvents do?

I just do a quick socket check to see if the server is running, and it seems to work perfectly. Does this help?

<?php

    if( $sock = @fsockopen($mc_host, $mc_port, $mc_errno, $mc_sockerror, 10) ){
        $mc_online = true;
        fclose($sock);
        unset($sock);
    }else{
        $mc_online = false;
    }

?>

Since this is a PHP thing, I figured I'd throw in my 2 cents.

Quote from decebaldecebal:

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to 188.24.5.182:4445 (Connection timed out) in /home/entirecr/public_html/ipn/Websend.php on line 19

Warning: fwrite() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/entirecr/public_html/ipn/Websend.php on line 45

Your web server isn't able to make the connection to the MC server. Therefore, the result of fsockopen() (the resource used for fwrite()) is false (a boolean.)

I know you said you didn't modify the files, but you didn't happen to put the port number after the host IP with a colon like it shows in the error (188.24.5.182:4445), did you? The port defaults to 4445, so you can leave it out entirely; like this: ("188.24.5.182"). You probably didn't, but it was worth mentioning to check.

It's likely, I think, that your web host doesn't allow fsockopen() on the Websend port (4445). You might ask them to open it or which ones they do allow.

Hope this helps.

Installed this plugin and I use the example files to test it.Everything worked fine while I was testing them on my home server,but when I move the web files to my webserver I get these errors: http://pastie.org/4651010

I have not modified the files in any way and I check the port 4445 and it is opened. Could this be caused by my web hosting service?

Yea, I'm thinking that some kind of verification on the web site is needed in any case. Otherwise, I'd need Websend to drop some kind of cookie or other ID badge on the player's device in a way that their browser could then pick it up to auth them on the web site, but that's asking a bit much. Perhaps someday we'll get a MC/Bukkit browser plugin to do that. With Bukkit being part of Mojang now, who knows?

As it stands now, I'm cool. We're all friends, so if anyone at their IP is logged into MC, then I'm OK with them seeing the not-terribly "private" info. Beyond that, they can just login normally. No biggie.

Websend rocks and helps to keep me passionate about Bukkit and Minecraft! Thanks again for all your hard work. I'd donate if I weren't broke.

@Waterflames

Thanks for the input. I think we're on the same page, but I don't see how the session ID in PHP is useful beyond it's normal function. Is there a session ID in MC or Bukkit that Websend can get a hold of?

Having the user type "/ws logmein" or something from in-game might be easy enough. It'd be nice to fully automate the process though. Anyone have some code they've already hammered out to do this? Somehow it seems closely related to MOTD; like if there could be a command put into that. Maybe a plugin to have Bukkit execute a console or player command automatically upon their login.

Just a note to Waterflames to let you know that I'm still loving Websend! The new 2.0 release works great and onlinePlayersIP[] in particular is making my life easier.

To everyone: I need some advice on best practices. I'm using onlinePlayersIP to test a web visitor's $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] against the current onlinePlayers list. This allows me some low-level security checks to display private info. My concern is that if there were more than one MC player logged in from that IP, then the web page will show the private info, and the visitor might not be who I think it is; like in our house.

We're just a tiny private server with less than 10 members, and we're all friends IRL, but I'm wondering how this should be handled with larger, more secure systems, 'cuz I like learning and I'm picky about my own stuff.

EDIT: Additional note: My basic goal is to allow for some private info display without making the user login separately from Minecraft.

My question/s is/are: How much of a problem is this and am I reading the situation correctly? Does Bukkit/MC prevent multiple sessions from the same IP? I thought I may have seen that somewhere... maybe in a plugin. How would you do it on your system?

All opinions and advice are welcome. Thanks in advance!
